Axshya staff felicitated on World TB Day

Mr Kishore Kumar, Project Axshya state consultant for Karnataka, was felicitated by the Government of Karnataka for his contributions in developing Advocacy, Communication and Social Mobilization (ASCM) strategies to control tuberculosis in the state.

At the World Tuberculosis Day 2013 event organized by the Health and Family Welfare Department at Bangalore, the Principal Secretary Sri Madan Gopal lauded the efforts of Mr Kishore in improving the access and quality of TB control activities. These services cover a projected population of 627 lakh across the 30 districts and the Bangalore city areas. A poster on creating awareness on TB was also released on this occasion.

India accounts for one-fifth of the global TB incidence. Each year nearly 2 million people in India develop TB and it is estimated that annually around 330,000 Indians die due to TB. These deaths are avoidable as tuberculosis is treatable with a course of antibiotics spanning six months, if diagnosed in time.

Mr Kishore is part of the Union coordinated Global Fund Round 9 Project Axshya working to step up civil society involvement in TB care and control to ensure early diagnosis and complete treatment for a TB-free India.

The President of India issued a statement on World TB Day 2013, calling for all stakeholders to come together to combat the disease and ensure zero TB deaths. A small delegation had met with the President prior to World TB Day 2013 to brief him about the TB scenario in the country and request him to send a message to the people on this occasion.

She spoke with the President about the progress and challenges around TB in India from the civil society perspective from her experience in these two roles. The President was also presented with copies of the Project Axshya Activity Report and copies of “Partner Speak,” the Partnership’s newsletter.

Dr Krishnan has also been recognized as a TB Champion 2013 for her unwavering efforts in advocating on issues around TB care and control with politicians, policy makers, and the media (through the non-profit organisation REACH). Going forward as TB Champion, she now sees an opportunity and seeks to empower TB patients by connecting them with politicians through patient forums.
